Canon is a great family gift from Best Buy! #HintingSeason

I have always loved photography and I will admit, I have been slacking with it since owning a smartphone. We all take selfies and random photos daily; the quality is pretty impressive but lets get real, they are no where near as high quality as a DSLR camera. With DSLR's, you get the clear, crisp, vibrant photos that you really want. I actually own a Canon Rebel camera and I absolutely love it. I am looking to upgrade in the near future and I have done some research and I think the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is what I want need!

I'm Thankful

This year has been very rough on me and my family but I still have a lot to be thankful for. My mom was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and even though she is living on oxygen and has a lot of  other health issues she is dealing with, I still have her around to talk to everyday and I am thankful for that. 
My dad was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and that is one of the hardest things I have been through in my life. He went through hell but he beat cancer and I am thankful for that.
Since I was my parents main caregiver and financial support system, I lost my car and that was embarrassing and painful. Cars are replaceable though. I still have an older car that is paid off that is still running and I am thankful for that.
We can't afford to buy Christmas presents this year and I know that really hurts my parents because this is the first year they won't be able to. I explained to them that we are all adults now and we understand that it isn't possible. We are thankful that we have each other to spend the Holidays with, even if it may be in the hospital.
I know I haven't technically lost her, but I feel like I have lost my best friend. The person that was always there for me the past 7 years when my other friends weren't or couldn't be, moved away. I know she is still there for me but it still makes me sad knowing I can't see her whenever I want to. She is still one of my best friends and I am glad she is still there for me, even if it isn't in person, and I am thankful for that.
I have two other friends that I was close to over the years off and on and we have rekindled our friendship this year and it has definitely helped me through these past few months. If they weren't there for me, I don't know how I would have got through it. I am glad I have the few friends I have and I am thankful for them.
My sister and boyfriend have helped me mentally through this year.  My sister with making me laugh and just being there for me in person. My boyfriend for calming me down when I always need someone to talk to. They both mean the world to me and I am thankful for them. 
Even though you have a crappy year and you don't think you can make it, there will always be someone there to help you through it. Even though there are days I feel like I am alone and I become bitter towards everyone and everything, at the end of the day, I am thankful for my friends, family, and life itself. I have had a lot put on me this year and it is normal to have little mental breakdowns here and there. It is the way I deal with a stress overload. Just because I am thankful for all of these things, doesn't mean I won't struggle here and there to accept why all this had to happen. I think too much and try to understand everything and I will never have an answer to my questions but this is my own battle and I will be okay. I wrote this post to hopefully help cope with this year and to try to move on. It brings me down too often and I don't like it one bit but this is a process and things will get better. 

♫ Music Monday!♫

Don't you hate it when you have the most random-est song stuck in your head...all...day...long?! Yeah, me too! It's OK though because Kat and I are going to embrace it every Monday with a link up and we would love for you to join us!

The song stuck in my head lately is:
"Christmas Vacation" Theme song

Lyrics found here

It's that time, Christmas time is here

Everybody knows there's not a better time of year

Hear that sleigh, Santa's on his way

Hip, Hip Hooray, for Christamas Vacation

Gotta a ton of stuff to celebrate

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)

Now it's getting closer I can't wait

(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Gonna make this holiday as perfect as can be

Just wait and see this Christmas Vacation

This old house, sure is looking good

Got ourselves the finest snowman in the neighborhood

Ain't it fun, always on the run

That's how its done on Christmas Vacation

Lets all deck the halls and light the lights

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)

Get a toasty fire buring bright

(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Give St Nick the warmest welcome that he's every had

We're so glad it Christmas Vacation

And when the nights are peacful and serene

We can cuddle up and do our Chirstmas dreaming

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)

(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Christmas Vacation (repeat)

We're so glad it's Christmas Vacation

Peace and joy and love are everywere

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)

You can feel the magic in the air

(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Let the spirit of the season carry us away

Hip, Hip Hooray for Christmas Vacation

Fa-la-la-la-la and ho ho ho

jingle, jangle, jingle as we go

Let the spirit of the season... (fade)

Another random song to have stuck in my head but I do love this movie. I was looking for a new ringtone for my phone, so it would explain why it is stuck in my head. Haha. Enjoy!
